Upgrading from portage-2.1.2.12 to portage-2.1.3.9 causes all emerge fetches to fail. Example (ut2004-demo): jiroburk gentoo # emerge -1 ut2004-demo Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Verifying ebuild Manifests... >>> Emerging (1 of 1) games-fps/ut2004-demo-3334 to / Adjusting permissions recursively: '/home/gentoo/distfiles/' >>> Downloading 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/ut2004-lnx-demo3334.run' /home/gentoo/distfiles/ut2004-lnx-demo3334.run: Permission denied >>> Downloading 'http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/ut2004-lnx-demo3334.run' /home/gentoo/distfiles/ut2004-lnx-demo3334.run: Permission denied >>> Downloading 'http://3dgamers.iinet.net.au/pub/3dgamers/games/unrealtourn2k4/ut2004-lnx-demo3334.run' /home/gentoo/distfiles/ut2004-lnx-demo3334.run: Permission denied >>> Downloading 'http://downloads-3dg.planetmirror.com/pub/3dgamers/games/unrealtourn2k4/ut2004-lnx-demo3334.run' /home/gentoo/distfiles/ut2004-lnx-demo3334.run: Permission denied !!! Couldn't download 'ut2004-lnx-demo3334.run'. Aborting. * Fetch failed for 'games-fps/ut2004-demo-3334' * Messages for package games-fps/ut2004-demo-3334: * Fetch failed for 'games-fps/ut2004-demo-3334' _ALL_ emerges I've tried fails to download with the same problem. If I downgrade to portage 2.1.2.12 then it all works without a problem. With portage 2.1.3.9 I've tried setting the distfiles directory permissions to a+rwx but emerge automatically changes them back to the root:portage drwxrwsr-x settings. I've tried using fetchpriv (and userpriv) in the make.conf FEATURES list but that doesn't change anything. As I said, it all works just fine with portage 2.1.2.12 I can of course still manually download the packages and put them in the distfiles directory. But that is rather tedious.
